What People are Saying about PLI's Course

"Taking the PLI course is one of the best investments of my career." – Julianne Campbell, Vanderbilt Law School; passed the Exam in July 2018

“Everyone I know who has passed the patent bar used PLI and highly recommends it. Taking the PLI course is one of the best investments of my career. The course thoroughly explains and highlights the important material for the exam. Without the insider view PLI provided in the course, I would not have passed on my first try.”

– Julianne Campbell, Vanderbilt Law School; passed the Exam in July 2018

“The in-person class was just what I needed to jump-start my study. After the course, the Patware exam software allowed me to see how I was doing compared to other students and where I should focus my study. I’m pleased (and relieved) that the course and tools helped me pass the exam on my first attempt!”

"It is the best preparation possible for an exceptionally (and overly) complicated test." – Michael Armstrong, Lewis Rice LLC, passed the Exam in June 2018

"I do not think I am the typical individual who sits for the patent bar—twenty plus years removed from my undergraduate years and a practicing attorney for the past five years, principally in areas other than patent law. The USPTO exam is unlike any other test I have taken, and I cannot imagine having taken it without the PLI Patent Office Exam Course. Their success speaks for itself—the passage rate in 2017 was 44%; PLI alumni passage rate is double that. It is the best preparation possible for an exceptionally (and overly) complicated test."

– Michael Armstrong, Lewis Rice LLC, passed the Exam in June 2018

"I put in the hard work, and PLI provided the guidance through a combination of excellent lectures, study guide materials, and answers to my questions." – Jordan Michael Bauman, PhD in Oil and Gas Technology, Norwegian Patent Agent at Acapo AS (Norway); passed the Exam in June 2018

“Quite simply, I would not have passed the patent bar exam without PLI. I was prepared to put in the time, but working full-time and being a parent of three children meant that I needed some guidance. This course has only one goal: to get you to pass the patent bar exam. It does its job admirably. I put in the hard work, and PLI provided the guidance through a combination of excellent lectures, study guide materials, and answers to my questions. There may be other courses out there, but there are no other courses with Patware®. The opportunity to face exam level difficulty questions, in exam-like conditions, gave me the confidence to take the exam without panicking. There is no other course I would recommend.”

– Jordan Michael Bauman, PhD in Oil and Gas Technology, Norwegian Patent Agent at Acapo AS (Norway); passed the Exam in June 2018

"While the volume of material seemed daunting at first, the course broke it down into digestible pieces, providing useful feedback and reinforcement throughout the process." – Lawrence Hoff, WMU Cooley Law School, Honigman, Miller, Schwartz, and Cohn LLP; passed the Exam in June 2018

“I found the PLI Patent Office Exam Course invaluable for succeeding on the first attempt. Prior to taking the course, I had little to no exposure to patent practice. I needed a course that I could take at my own pace, while working and going to law school. While the volume of material seemed daunting at first, the course broke it down into digestible pieces, providing useful feedback and reinforcement throughout the process. The PatWare exam simulation software was reasonably realistic. Practicing with PatWare made exam-day less stressful.”

"I couldn’t have passed the exam without the course on my first try. Thank you so much!" – Lingyin Ge, Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology; passed the Exam in June 2018

“The course helped me tremendously during my exam preparation. The lectures and studying material build up a solid foundation of basic knowledge of patent law and rules that pertains to the exam. And Patware simulated exam questions are of essence. Through the mock exams on Patware, I acclimated myself to the real exam environment and learned how to strategically answer the questions and flip through MPEP for answers. The learning experience of PLI Patent Office Exam Course made me much less nervous and more confident on exam day. I couldn’t have passed the exam without the course on my first try. Thank you so much!”

– Lingyin Ge, Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology; passed the Exam in June 2018

"What I found most helpful in the PLI Patent Office Exam Course was the ability to create custom practice exams based on MPEP Chapters. Not only was this helpful for improvement in certain areas of the MPEP, but it also meant I could focus on the more heavily tested areas."

– Erick Lopez, LL.M. student at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, IL; passed the Exam in June 2018

"I simply could not have passed on the first try without this course.” – David Old, Ph.D. in Chemistry; passed the Exam in June 2018

– David Old, Ph.D. in Chemistry; passed the Exam in June 2018

" I think proper pacing and getting some familiar questions on the exam that allowed me to select the correct answer almost immediately are the factors that made the difference in getting the passing score.” – Ryan Adam Davis; University of Pittsburgh School of Law; passed the Exam in June 2018

"Thank you! I admit I was very skeptical about how I would perform on the test and wasn’t sure I was prepared, but I was very happy to see after completing the test that I had passed. I did all the recommended practice questions in the course and listened to the test strategy advice. Specifically, I think proper pacing and getting some familiar questions on the exam that allowed me to select the correct answer almost immediately are the factors that made the difference in getting the passing score.”

– Ryan Adam Davis; University of Pittsburgh School of Law; passed the Exam in June 2018

"I left the live course with confidence and much-needed familiarity with the topics that will show up on the test.” – Robert Bollier, George Washington University Law School; San Francisco course June 2018

“I walked into PLI’s Patent Office Exam Course with no experience in and little exposure to how to navigate the MPEP. I left the live course with confidence and much-needed familiarity with the topics that will show up on the test.”

– Robert Bollier, George Washington University Law School; San Francisco course June 2018

“This course [the live course in particular] is essential to success. The exam covers a huge amount of information, but PLI’s course materials annotate and summarize the relevant content to streamline your study schedule and maximize efficiency. The lecturers are expert and engaging, and are instrumental to gaining a deep understanding of relevant topics for the Patent Bar Exam.”

– Armbien Sabillo, UC Berkeley Law; San Francisco course June 2018

“I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to prepare for this exam.” – Chadwick T. Holeman, Devon Energy; San Francisco course June 2018

"The response to questions as I was working through the practice tests online was really helpful." – Diane Retallack; PhD in Microbiology and Immunology; passed the Exam in May 2018

“I don’t think I would’ve passed without the course. The response to questions as I was working through the practice tests online was really helpful. Having been out of school for many years, I think nerves got the best of me on the first try (I only missed by 4 points) and I ran short of time, but the second time, after one more run through of the material, went much better. Having both attended in person and watched the online course was key for me – running through all of the lectures and practice material twice!”

– Diane Retallack; PhD in Microbiology and Immunology; passed the Exam in May 2018

“PLI’s Patent Office Exam Course was invaluable in helping me pass the exam on my first try." – Samuel Cockriel, J.D., George Washington University Law School; passed the Exam in May 2018

“I would like to thank PLI for the patent bar review course because I certainly would not have passed without it. It was very helpful to already be familiar with the testing software prior to sitting for the actual exam. The lectures helped explain complex rules and laws in a way that was understandable and detailed enough to pass the exam.”

– Nicholas Marcello, St. John's University School of Law; passed the Exam in May 2018

"Early on in my studies for the Patent Bar Examination I selected the wrong study guide, and it wasn't until I purchased the PLI Patent Bar Study Guide that I was able to successfully pass the examination. The PLI Study Guide is outstanding! Thank you!"

"If you are considering taking the patent bar exam, I would highly recommend PLI’s Patent Office Exam Course. The online version of the course conveniently gave me the flexibility to prepare for the exam without disrupting my personal and professional responsibilities. The lectures, reading materials, and practice exams were extremely beneficial and provided me with the deeper understanding necessary to pass the exam. This course also helped to develop confidence in my understanding of the topics and ability to practice before the USPTO."

"Super happy that the beast of an exam is behind me and GLAD I trusted the PLI process.” – Ulysses Williams III, Esq., Howard University School of Law; passed the Exam in March 2018

“The PLI Patent Course was fantastic. I can say I walked into the exam feeling super prepared for all the tricks, and curve balls. In fact I had several questions on my actual exam that were in PLI materials. I did all of the PLI practice questions and exams, and most importantly I reviewed the questions I got correct and incorrect. Certain concepts were drilled into my head such that I did not need to waste time looking them up. In sum, listen to John White and Gene Quinn, do all the questions PLI gives you, review the correct and incorrect answers, register for exam and pass. Super happy that the beast of an exam is behind me and GLAD I trusted the PLI process.”

– Ulysses Williams III, Esq., Howard University School of Law; passed the Exam in March 2018

"I was incredibly happy that I took the course!" – Rachael Bacha, passed the Exam in March 2018

“I have been practicing intellectual property litigation for the past eight years at a large NY firm, and recently decided to finally go ahead and take the patent bar exam to further my practice in front of the PTAB. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve taken an exam, and because I am a litigator, I was not particularly familiar with many of the PTO practices on which the patent bar would test. My firm strongly supports us taking the USPTO exam, and suggests taking the PLI Patent Office Exam Course specifically (and will pay for us to do so). I was incredibly happy that I took the course! The lectures were more than simply informative; the way they repeat key concepts again and again really gets the information into your head. The practice questions were appropriately difficult, and made the exam itself feel much easier by comparison. The supporting study materials were also extremely helpful, particularly the final section that distilled those highly-tested specifics into easily-remembered lists ....In short, I would highly recommend taking the PLI Patent Office Exam Course before taking the patent bar, both for new and experienced practitioners. Without a doubt, it made a tremendous difference and kept me to an intensive study schedule. Thank you!”

– Rachael Bacha, passed the Exam in March 2018

“I had put off taking the test for 10+ years, and now I wish I hadn’t, because to be honest it wasn’t all that hard with the proper preparation." – Amy Wells, Paralegal, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP; passed the Exam in March 2018

“I had put off taking the test for 10+ years, and now I wish I hadn’t, because to be honest it wasn’t all that hard with the proper preparation."

“The PLI team is terrific. I found the live course and post-course test prep to be very helpful, and felt confident and prepared on test day. The study material was comprehensive but streamlined, and made for efficient self-guided study. I highly recommend PLI to aspiring patent agents.”

"...PLI makes it as easy as it can be." – Camron Bagheri, University of Pennsylvania Law School; passed the Exam in January 2018

"PLI was great! ...The well-written study materials and on-point videos efficiently introduced me to the subject matter of each MPEP chapter, and the myriad questions in Patware helped me to master the material. After three weeks of full-time studying and taking practice exams, I was ready. Preparing for this test isn't easy, but PLI makes it as easy as it can be." – Camron Bagheri, University of Pennsylvania Law School; passed the Exam in January 2018

"When I contemplated taking the patent bar exam, I asked several patent agents and attorneys on how to study for it. Unanimously, they said to sign up for the PLI course. Heeding their advice, I signed up to the PLI home study course. I followed the instruction and the study schedule and passed the patent bar exam on first try.

The reading material is concise and easily digestible, which is particularly important as I do not possess prior experience working in a law firm or with patenting. The webinars taught by Gene and John are both informative and lively. John's anecdotes and Gene's dry sense of humor are also much appreciated. The software, Patware, and the practice questions compiled by PLI precisely mimic the difficulty and scope of the actual exam. If anyone is struggling with studying for the patent bar exam, PLI is the way to go."

"[PLI] provided me with an organized and systematic approach to chip away at what seemed like a mountain of material." – Lindsey Ajubita, Loyola University College of Law; passed the Exam in December 2017

“PLI’s Patent Office Exam Course gave me all the tools necessary to pass the patent exam. John White and Eugene Quinn provided me with an organized and systematic approach to chip away at what seemed like a mountain of material. I trusted in their process and did exactly what they told me to do. I found myself understanding and recalling the material, which eased my nerves and built my confidence.

Patware was also an invaluable tool in preparing for the patent exam. There were more than enough practice tests and quizzes to get me really comfortable with the material and format of the test. I was able to gauge my progress throughout my studies and determine my preparedness to sit for the exam. Patware includes explanations for the correct answers which helped me to recognize key facts and review important concepts. PLI is the key to success for the patent exam!"

– Lindsey Ajubita, Loyola University College of Law; passed the Exam in December 2017

"The PLI Patent Office Exam Course was extremely valuable to me because it makes learning much more efficient." – Bin Wang, Booth Udall Fuller, PLC; passed the Exam in October 2017

"The patent exam is quite a challenge. One has to both know the core material and learn how to search. The MPEP has more than 3,000 pages, and different law/rules apply at different periods of time. The PLI Patent Office Exam Course was extremely valuable to me because it makes learning much more efficient. The course identifies and teaches the core material, and updates the practice exams based on the new law. Finally, whenever I had a question I could not find out the answer, John always replied to my question to give a concise explanation." – Bin Wang, Booth Udall Fuller, PLC; passed the Exam in October 2017

“PLI Patent Office Exam Homestudy Course was the sole resource for my USPTO Registration Exam preparation. The online and written materials of the course cover every aspect of the exam. The Patware is a remarkable web tool that provides the real exam experience. By the time I took the exam, I was already very familiar with how to navigate through the MPEP chapters, which saved me a lot of time. Long story short, I cannot imagine passing the Registration Exam without the PLI Patent Office Exam Course. I want to thank all PLI staff and especially John White and Gene Quinn for making this outstanding course available for scientists and engineers who want to pursue a career in patent practice.” – Tufan Gokirmak, Ph.D., Thermo Fischer Scientific; passed the Exam in October 2017

"Your course was fantastic. Despite having practiced in Canada for over 15 years, and being a 'reciprocal' US agent through my Canadian agency status, and through that time doing a lot of US filings, I likely would not have passed without your course. The focus on the tested material was very much appreciated.... Your course, and the practice exams, were a significant contributor to my ability to pass the exam.” – Charles Boulakia, partner, Ridout & Maybee LLP; passed the Exam in July 2017

“PLI's Patent Office Exam Course was key to my passing the examination for registration to practice before the USPTO, otherwise known as the 'Patent Bar' exam. I took the online version of the course so that I could more flexibly incorporate the course work and study into my daily schedule. The combination of video classes, hard copy materials, and practice exams helped keep the coursework interesting and understandable. PLI also provided updated course material and updated practice questions to incorporate applicable changes in patent laws and regulations. These additional materials - supplied promptly online or through email attachments - were also key to my absorbing new material and successfully applying the material to exam questions. Although I took the online PLI course, I was still able to submit the occasional question to the instructors, who always responded within a couple of days. The instructors also provided various test-taking tips such as how much time to spend on questions and so forth, and these tips were helpful. I recommend the PLI Patent Office Exam Course to others who are considering taking the 'Patent Bar' exam." – Bruce Villard, J.D., Northrop Grumman; passed the exam in June 2017.

I highly recommend taking this course.
– Nicholas Caiafa, McCarter & English LLP, Quinnipiac University School of Law; passed the Exam in May 2017

The PLI course was developed with busy people in mind. The lectures were direct, but thorough, making the entire study process easy; I was able to balance a full semester of classes in addition to taking the PLI course. Several of the questions I had on the actual Exam were verbatim to those I studied from in Patware. I highly recommend taking this course.

Thank you to the entire PLI team for putting together an awesome course. – Sarojini Adusumilli, Arizona State University; passed the Exam in May 2017

I attribute my success to PLI. Focusing on the material (in the binder as well as online lectures) helped a lot. But I would say the best part of the course was the wealth of practice questions in Patware and the explanation below the answers as to why a particular answer is correct or wrong. Thank you to the entire PLI team for putting together an awesome course. – Sarojini Adusumilli, Arizona State University; passed the Exam in May 2017

As a non-law student with a scientific background (Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering), I fully attribute my success in passing the exam on the first try to having taken the PLI course.

Thank you very much for providing an excellent study material. I could not pass without it. I first purchased two study materials from other company ($1000 in total) because they were much cheaper, but not effective at all, I wasted my money.

Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout this process. – Chioma Abara, Widener University School of Law; passed the exam in February 2017

Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout this process. I definitely could not have successfully completed the exam without this course. The review course, with John White and Gene Quinn, does a fantastic job of laying the foundation for understanding tested patent law/PTO rules. Patware was crucial to my passing. The more time I spent practicing in Patware, the more familiar I became with the various types of questions and the more confident I felt tackling complex multi-layered questions on exam day. I feel pretty grateful. – Chioma Abara, Widener University School of Law; passed the exam in February 2017

The live course, home study program, and the PatWare practice exams made a world of difference in preparing for the actual exam. – Radha Narayanan, Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the Exam in February 2017

PLI has helped me immensely towards passing the patent bar exam. The live course, home study program, and the PatWare practice exams made a world of difference in preparing for the actual exam. – Radha Narayanan, Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the Exam in February 2017

This course is incredibly well-run and efficient. While the initial time-commitment may look big, the course helps streamline studying so you do not waste time learning things that will never be tested, while emphasizing the things that will (or are likely to) be tested. Important materials are tested at different points in the course, so that the concepts get driven home. While getting ready for the course initially felt overwhelming, both John and Gene do a great job of walking through the materials and explaining additional nuances that might otherwise be lost. Words cannot describe how much of a relief it was to pass on my first try, and much of the reason for my success is thanks to this course. – Garrett Bickford, Patent Engineer, Quarles & Brady LLP; passed the Exam in January 2017

Thank you, John, Gene and PLI for a very positive and successful learning experience! – Alyson Harrington, BS in Aerospace Engineering; passed the Exam in January 2017

I did pass the Patent Office Exam on my first try after taking the PLI Patent Office Exam Course! I have an aerospace engineering degree but had really no patent experience at all before I began the course. I'm so happy I chose the PLI course and passed the exam. The online lectures and study materials provided by both John White and Gene Quinn were very informative and helpful in understanding the nuances of the Patent Laws, Rules and Procedures and how they were going to be covered on the exam. Their advice on how and what to study and their helpful hints on exam day preparation enabled me to stay calm and got me through the exam. I followed their advice and took many of the Patware exams so I was really comfortable with the question formats and my timing for handling them.

I would not have passed without the help of the PLI patent bar course. – Sarah Hooson, Widener University School of Law; passed the Exam in January 2017

I would not have passed without the help of the PLI patent bar course. It's a great resource with excellent test bank. Patware is specifically designed to help prepare you by representing testing conditions. It also offers different options: can review specific questions, chapters, perform them on a time basis or perform them in a study mode. Overall, an intensive program that prepares you to pass the patent bar. – Sarah Hooson, Widener University School of Law; passed the Exam in January 2017

...PLI taught me how to efficiently navigate through the MPEP during the exam. – Christopher Mann; University of Georgia School of Law; passed the Exam in January 2017

I found PLI to be extremely helpful in two ways. First, the course allowed me to become comfortable with both the structure of the questions as well as understand the various subjects a test taker will likely see on the exam. Second, and most importantly, PLI taught me how to efficiently navigate through the MPEP during the exam. – Christopher Mann; University of Georgia School of Law; passed the Exam in January 2017

The PTO Course from PLI is worth every penny. – Prateek Viswanathan, Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the Exam in December 2016

The PTO Course from PLI is worth every penny. White and Quinn walk you through every facet of tested material calmly and clearly, so that you learn the nuts and bolts of each law, the applications, and the context of each law or rule, and provide questions and a well-thought out study guide. However, it is the inclusion of Patware that sets this course apart from others. By providing a timed set of questions, customizable by MPEP chapter, with feedback for each question, they have facilitated a thorough learning of the material. It would have been much harder to pass the exam without this course. – Prateek Viswanathan, Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the Exam in December 2016

PLI was everything that I hoped it would be.... – Alexander Park; Master's degree, Midwestern University; passed the Exam in November 2016

PLI was everything that I hoped it would be when signing up for the course. After reading so many great reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Their pass rate is so high for a reason. They are extremely thorough in preparing you for the exam, and keep their material up to date. Not only will you see exact copies of questions on the exam, but you will also see similarities with many others. Follow the curriculum exactly as they have laid it out, and you will pass on the first try as well! Thank you PLI! – Alexander Park; Master's degree, Midwestern University; passed the Exam in November 2016

...it was comforting to know that the PLI course would stick with me until I passed. – Warren Rosborough, Georgetown University Law Center; passed the Exam in December 2016

I passed the patent bar, and I found the PLI course to be tremendously helpful. I really appreciated the flexibility of the online format, and Messrs. White and Quinn made the lectures more enjoyable than expected. And even though I only needed to take the exam once, it was comforting to know that the PLI course would stick with me until I passed. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a prep course for the patent bar exam – Warren Rosborough, Georgetown University Law Center; passed the Exam in December 2016

The PLI Patent Bar prep course was one of the finest educational experiences I've had: well-written materials, engaging lecturers, and highly responsive personnel allowed me to maximize the value of my prep time without any frustrating second-guessing, backtracking, or boredom (really!). I managed to pass the exam on my first try with a six-week-old infant at home and a busy work schedule: if I can do it, anyone can. – Matthew Norwood, Esq., Ridout & Maybee LLP; passed the Exam in November 2016

I cannot express in words how grateful I am to the PLI course!! – Rutawari Sharma, IP Engineer, Power Integrations; passed the Exam in November 2016

I recently passed the Patent Agent Registration Exam and I completely owe success to PLI! I had tried three other courses before and failed FIVE times. I passed in the FIRST attempt after attending the live course. I cannot express in words how grateful I am to the PLI course!! It is the best way to prepare for the exam and learn necessary know-how in order to be a Patent Agent. John White and Gene Quinn are the best teachers. They both make students learn the patent exam related laws and rules the right way by engaging them in interesting case law stories. Attending the live class has been the most valuable experience for me. The practice tests are also designed to reinforce important concepts. Additionally, the motivation and the support they provide to the students is incomparable! I strongly recommend joining PLI. GOOD LUCK! – Rutawari Sharma, IP Engineer, Power Integrations; passed the Exam in November 2016

After having talked with several patent attorney colleagues about which course to take to study for the USPTO registration exam for attorneys and agents, they all recommended I use PLI's home study course. I'm very happy I did. (I also attended the live course with John and Gene, which was very helpful and enjoyable.) I couldn't imagine passing the exam without the rigor and thoroughness of the PLI course. Both presenters were excellent in the webcasts and they presented the material in a manageable, even enjoyable, way. I wholeheartedly recommend it! – Andrew Reeves, Technical Advisor, R&D; passed the Exam in October 2016

The lectures were straightforward and the practice exams were invaluable. – Michele Bongiovanni, University of San Diego School of Law; passed the Exam in October 2016

Trust Gene and John: their lessons and strategy advice are spot-on! I recognized questions on the exam and had a good sense of timing by having practiced using PatWare. It’s amazingly close to the real thing, and current with the AIA. You, too, can pass on the first try! – Roslyn Brown, Ph.D., Patent Analyst, Cepheid; passed the Exam in October 2016

PLI’s Patent Bar Course is the best. Period. I could practically hear John’s voice in my head during the exam and felt that the Course did a great job getting the rules and key points to stick in my memory. I passed on my first attempt after only about a month of regular studying between law school classes. I ordered my study materials several years prior, however, and appreciate that PLI kept my access alive and sent me updates whenever the exam changed. The Patware system is very similar to the actual exam environment and is an invaluable tool for identifying the areas you need to focus a bit more on.

PLI's structured course and updated Patware helped me pass the patent bar exam on my first try.

I wouldn’t have been able to pass the exam without taking the PLI course..... John White answered several questions for me after the course was finished. I appreciated all the help from him. Both John and Gene are great instructors; John is a great lecturer; Gene really emphasized the difficulty of the exam questions which motivated me to be well prepared before appearing for the exam . I followed John and Gene’s directions closely on what to study and how to study for the exam, which paid off. Although it was a lot of work, it has been a rewarding experience. – Kiran Joshi, Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry, QuantumScape; passed the Exam in October 2016

The course lectures cover the material exhaustively (and with a welcome sprinkling of humor!). – Gautam Thatte, Patent Engineer at TrellisWare Technologies, Inc.; passed the Exam in September 2016

The PLI homestudy course definitely helped me pass the USPTO bar. The course lectures cover the material exhaustively (and with a welcome sprinkling of humor!). What helped me the most through the final strench was PatWare; the ability to focus my prep on specific sections of the MPEP, and understanding why the wrong answers were incorrect, was invaluable.

Don't waste your time with any other course! – Richard Uberto, Georgia State University College of Law; passed the exam in September 2016

This course is brilliant. There's no way I could have passed on the first try without the study guide and Patware's simulated exams. Additionally, the course materials are diligently updated to reflect the exam as soon as changes in the covered material are reported. Don't waste your time with any other course! – Richard Uberto, Georgia State University College of Law; passed the exam in September 2016

I would strongly recommend it to any scientist or engineer who is thinking about switching career to become a patent agent. – Quinfen Zhang, Ph.D in Chemistry. Senior Research Investigator at Icagen Inc.; passed the Exam in September 2016

The PLI's training course for patent bar is great. It is very systematic and comprehensive training. It is especially useful for people without any patent experience. I would strongly recommend it to any scientist or engineer who is thinking about switching career to become a patent agent. One of the advantages is that it has a lot of AIA practice questions; it offers good amount of practice with the new law, which not only helped me with AIA questions during the exam but also built my confidence during the study. Another thing I like very much is that the previous exams have been updated to reflect the new law; it saves a lot of time from looking up the old and new law. John has been very helpful with some questions I had during the study. – Quinfen Zhang, Ph.D in Chemistry. Senior Research Investigator at Icagen Inc.; passed the Exam in September 2016

I wish I had enough money the first time to purchase the PLI course so I would only need to take it once!!! – Monchai Chuaychoo, bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the exam in September 2016

I took the USPTO exam twice. The first time was June 19th 2016. At that time, I could not afford the PLI material so I cobbled together various internet sources and paid for a Wysebridge class around mid-April 2016 and began studying. It was lacking AIA materials which was my downfall since I scored a 64.... I racked my brain trying to figure out what I needed to do to overcome the AIA shortcomings. I knew that I needed a reputable review course with tons of AIA questions and the only game in town was the PLI class.... I recall emailing John White and other PLI staffers a lot...asking questions. I’m sure they got tired of seeing my emails. I was not scoring that well in the post-course exams for whatever reasons. I had to make an adjustment on those missed concepts. I redid those exams/homework twice and also the old 2002 and 2003 exams as well. Finally, I was scoring over 75%. I felt pretty confident before going in to take my exam which I didn’t have the same feeling the first time. Overall, I was satisfied with the PLI course and the staff’s attentiveness to help me achieve my goal of passing the exam. I wish I had enough money the first time to purchase the PLI course so I would only need to take it once!!! – Monchai Chuaychoo, bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; passed the exam in September 2016

PLI's commitment to getting me across the finish line was unparalleled. I am confident that passing the patent bar would not be possible without PLI.

(Tony) Prosdocimo, Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University; passed the exam in August 2016

“I took a less expensive course initially, and missed passing by 3 questions.

PLI’s lecture videos, study materials, Patware, and study strategy have prepared me well for passing the patent bar. The lectures by John White and Gene Quinn are focused, easy to follow, and entertaining. Their advice of learning to look up answers in the MPEP is vital for anyone who wants to pass the first time without overstudying. I also want to thank PLI for renewing my course registration...and enabling me to study for the patent bar again after a nearly four-year hiatus from the first time I signed up for PLI’s patent bar course in New York in September 2012.” – Wendy Cheung, Foley & Lardner LLP; passed the Exam in August 2016

I am not sure I could have done it without the PLI course. I really enjoyed the fact that the lecturers really drilled down the most important topics and MPEP sections so that I didn't have to reference the large and daunting sections nearly as frequently as I thought I would.

“As far as the course goes, I could not have been happier. The lectures were clear and really emphasized the most important parts of the test. A few of the questions on the actual PTO exam seemed like they were right out of the PLI practice questions. I was able to complete the course in five weeks while finishing law school, and it may have helped that I have been clerking in a patent law firm for the last year, but the clarity of the materials and lectures definitely made the difference in me passing my first time. I will always be grateful to Mr. White, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Dighton, and all of PLI!” – Steven Wolfe, Gonzaga University School of Law; passed the Exam June 2016

"I credit PLI with my success on the Patent Exam. They distill the MPEP into coherent and discrete sections, and provide helpful mnemonics that will replay in your head for years. I was at a conference with patent attorneys and IP specialists when a featured speaker mentioned that he still hears John White's voice when he thinks of this section of the MPEP. Most of the room chuckled, knowingly. At that moment I realized how strong this program is, because I was sitting in a room full of patent professionals who had gone through PLI's program, passed, and still talked about the lectures with fondness. This program is so much more than just rehearsing 10 year-old exam questions; it puts sections of the MPEP into context, introduces current materials, provides questions based on newer material, and gives practical strategies for exam day.

"PLI is one of the best exam review programs I have taken and I have taken quite a few from high school through law school. PLI breaks everything down and makes the subject matter that can be relatively complex, quite simple. Between the materials, videos, practice problems, and even direct email support, you have everything you could think of at your disposal. For me, the most helpful part was Patware that had hundreds of questions, most of which are not available via other sources. You can take practice exams as many times as you want, and thorough answers are given that explain each question and answer choice. Patware also provides live simulated test conditions and really gets you both mentally and physically prepared for the actual exam. PLI was also generous enough to extend my online access so that I could manage finals during my last year in law school and then concentrate on the patent registration exam. I do not believe that I could have passed without the help of PLI and I am thankful that I used PLI." – Daniel Latimer, Pepperdine School of Law; passed March 2016

Studying again for the test, this time during law school and with the help of PLI, I was able to pass the exam on the first try. I attended the PLI Live Program and also utilized all of the computer-based resources.

A few hours of research led me to the PLI as a highly regarded prep course. I chose home study option. Lectures and study materials are on the point. John White who was the lecturer, was very prompt and helpful when I emailed him a question…. With the help of PLI, I passed USPTO exam in first try. I highly recommend PLI to anyone looking into USPTO exam prep course.” – Woo-Hyeong (“Willy”) Chung; passed March 2016

“PLI’s course is great for many reasons….” – Patrick Chinkiwsky, Seattle University School of Law; passed February 2016

“I couldn't have passed the patent bar exam without the help of the PLI course.” – Allison Neyer, Esq.; passed January 2016

“I couldn't have passed the patent bar exam without the help of the PLI course. Mr. White went above and beyond the call of duty by providing prompt, clear explanations to all of my questions. The course's lectures explained the laws and rules in plain English and even explained why the wrong answers were incorrect. Understanding the rules and law is key to passing the exam. In addition to passing the patent bar, I was also able to meet many of my CLE requirements using this course. With enough time and this course, you can pass!” – Allison Neyer, Esq.; passed January 2016

“The PLI Patent Bar Review course was worth every penny! This course honestly provides everything you will need to know to pass the exam. I followed the lectures, put in the time to do the sample tests, and passed the exam on my first try. I absolutely would not have been as well-prepared if I had not used PLI Patent Bar Review. The instructors were very responsive so I did not feel alone! Any questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. I was impressed.” – Diana Hendricks, University of Wisconsin-Madison; passed December 2015

“I felt that PLI really provided me with all the tools that I needed to pass the exam.“ – Sean L. Africk, Esq.; passed October 2015

“I felt that PLI really provided me with all the tools that I needed to pass the exam. I paid for one other "bargain" course prior to enrolling in PLI, and felt overwhelmed, as it often merely recited the MPEP word for word. At the PLI live lecture, speakers John White and Gene Quinn did an excellent job at making the material understandable, and at emphasizing what was important without getting lost in the minutiae. I also thought that the experience I gained in completing the exams and quizzes in Patware was absolutely invaluable to my preparation. “ – Sean L. Africk, Esq.; passed October 2015

“As a scientist without a law school foundation preparing for the patent bar exam, the PLI course was the essential study resource and framework to understanding key sections of the MPEP. The PLI course provided comprehensive explanations of key sections of the MPEP and pointed to MPEP chapters that were key testable material. The PLI course questions, online practice quizzes and exams were a critical resource to becoming familiar with the difficulty level of exam questions. The answers provided were both excellent explanations of rationale and nuances, and study material by themselves. The AIA supplements were more comprehensive than what was provided on the PTO website.” – Ranjini Chatterjee, co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Aligna Technologies, Inc.; passed the exam in October 2015.

“I have been working through the course for the last 2 1/2 months, and today I received a preliminary passing grade on the exam!” – Jimmy Heath, B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Texas A&M University; passed October 2015

“On July 29, 2015, after studying free and cheap materials on my own for 3 months to prepare for the USPTO Registration Exam, I failed the exam miserably. After recovering from that blow, I purchased the PLI course. I have been working through the course for the last 2 1/2 months, and today I received a preliminary passing grade on the exam! …. After only a couple of weeks of the PLI course, I went back to Prometric to review my [first] exam. While reviewing the exam, I tried answering the questions I missed without referring to the explanations, and I was able to answer enough of those missed items to have passed the exam. That was VERY encouraging. Nonetheless, I worked through all the course materials, and continued to pick up new understanding even the day before my second exam. It’s not the way I would suggest to anyone else to do it, but the route I took might have been as direct as possible for me considering my habits and level of dedication to raw study…. Thanks again for designing and producing the PLI course.” – Jimmy Heath, B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Texas A&M University; passed October 2015

“I ordered PLI's Patent Bar Review to study abroad. The course materials were shipped to my foreign address and received without delay. I could view the online lectures from any location. I followed the study tips given throughout the course and gave attention to the supplements which were up to date with US patenting procedures. Both were critical and extremely helpful. I used Patware to practice exam questions until I felt confident that my long flight back to the homeland would count on the day of my exam. PLI provided everything I needed to pass and indeed I did.” – Raymond F. Horvath, Ph.D., Axis Intellectual Capital; passed September 2015

“I really believe I would not have passed this test without PLI. I was working and traveling and extremely busy, so the learning plan was great because it took the ambiguity out of what I needed to be studying. I found that I wasn’t just ‘studying to the test,’ but rather I was really learning the law, which helped immensely on test day.” – Jordan Galvin, Michigan State University College of Law; passed August 2015

“Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I took the Patent Bar on Tuesday and passed! I really enjoyed your online lectures, and the live course in San Francisco back in June. They were of incredible value to me for both the bar and for my day-to-day job. In the days before I took the exam, I reviewed the notes I took during your lectures, which were right on point with the tested material. The practice questions and the practice test environment were also immensely helpful.” – Erica J. Poole, IP Manager, Peregrine Semiconductor; passed August 2015

“I was thrilled to pass the patent bar on my first try. The patent course from PLI was a huge factor. My strategy was pretty simple. I just did what was recommended by the course! That would also be my advice to other people.” – Michael Campos, PhD.

“Thanks! I was thrilled to pass the patent bar on my first try. The patent course from PLI was a huge factor. My strategy was pretty simple. I just did what was recommended by the course! That would also be my advice to other people. I did the whole course online since I landed a new job in the middle of my preparation and I could not take the time off for the live course. All in all it was about 10 weeks from the time that I ordered the course materials to the time that I passed my exam. Without the course it would have taken me a lot longer, and frankly, I'm sure I would have failed on my first attempt. I might have even given up on trying to become a patent agent once I learned that the exam has more than one question about when it is not appropriate to send something to the USPTO by fax! What an insane test. But taking the PLI course, I came to understand that the USPTO just wants to make sure that new patent agents know where to find all of the information that they need so that they can be less annoying when we start our patent agent careers. Overall, I found the course a perfect blend of getting me ready for the exam and giving me practical advice on how to deal with the USPTO as a patent agent who seems to know what he's doing. ” – Michael Campos, PhD.

“The PLI course was instrumental in helping me pass the patent bar. I work 70 hours a week and finding time to study was difficult. The PLI course allowed me to study at home at my own pace. It was also very beneficial to practice past exam questions in a simulated environment. I would definitely recommend the PLI patent bar course to anyone who wishes to pass the patent bar. Thank you PLI!” – Ashley Ferraro, Patent Agent, Turk IP Law; passed July 2015

“I believe the course goes above and beyond what is needed to pass the exam….” – Charisse Hines, Esq.; passed June 2015

“I would highly recommend this course to anyone…. I recognized a lot of the questions on the exam, and was able to make good, educated guesses for those questions which left me a little stumped. I believe the course goes above and beyond what is needed to pass the exam, and also gives those of us who have no IP experience a good working knowledge to begin with. I look forward to further developing my patent prosecution and litigation skills through further coursework with PLI.” – Charisse Hines, Esq.; passed June 2015

[...] I can’t imagine confronting an exam of this difficulty without a review course as professionally designed as PLI’s. – Andrew Blythe, Harvard Law School; passed June 2015

“When I first started learning the Patent Bar materials, I thought the detail and complexity was completely overwhelming. However, I was very impressed with Gene and John’s ability
in the videos to focus on the important materials and provide context with anecdotes from their years of practice. Following the lesson plan and taking the instructors’ sage advice,
the exam is certainly conquerable. I can’t imagine confronting an exam of this difficulty without a review course as professionally designed as PLI’s.” – Andrew Blythe, Harvard Law School; passed June 2015

"Taking the Home-study PLI Patent Bar Review course is the secret to passing the patent bar exam! ….[At first,] I went with a cheaper course, but suffered for my poor decision and did not pass the patent bar the first time. I realized then that I should have just enrolled in the PLI course to begin with. The lecture videos highlighting the MPEP chapters were exactly what I needed to pass the patent bar. On top of that, PLI provides more than enough practice questions and past exams for review. Don't think twice and enroll in the course now!" – Constance (“Connie”) Liu; Santa Clara University School of Law; passed June 2015

I found the videos, written materials, and PATWARE® practice exam software extremely helpful and well-suited for those who are looking for a prep course they can take while working full-time. I watched the videos and looked over the material summaries first. Then I studied the more detailed materials and actually read portions of the MPEP as suggested by the course. Finally, I spent the last couple of weeks before the exam doing as many practice questions as I could under exam conditions, and reviewing the answer explanations. That might not be everyone’s recipe for success, but it was mine. None of it would have been possible, however, without the PLI course. Thank you PLI!” – Paul J. Linden, Wood, Herron & Evans, LLP; passed June 2015

When I first decided to take the USPTO exam, I enrolled in a less expensive course than PLI. I followed the course’s guidelines but it wasn’t enough to help me pass the exam.

my husband convinced me to take the PLI course and give the exam another try. This time also I followed the PLI’s online course’s guidelines but with a different result; I passed!
It was simple: read the text, listen to the lectures, and take and retake the sample exams until you ace them. The sample question bank was extensive enough to boost my confidence
and prepare me for the exam. Especially that for each question there was an explanation for the answer, so I wasn’t just memorizing the answer but learning the laws/rules. On the
exam day, I had more than an hour extra time for each session to review the questions I was doubtful about and go through MPEP. I found the course amazingly helpful.” – Tina Alikahi; passed May 2015

“The PLI course was exactly what I needed to study for the patent bar -- everything I needed was included. The lectures alone would have been great, but the written materials and the
reminders from John White to both read the material and listen to the lecture were really helpful. Best of all was Patware®, though. Thanks to Patware® the stress of the actual exam
was so much lower than it would’ve been if I hadn’t been answering questions for days on end using Patware®. To have an actual simulation of the exam itself was an incredible
resource. What was best about Patware® was the explanations for each answer during review. I couldn’t have done it without that. Thanks so much for this quality course!” – Iris Kim; passed April 2015

“I first learned about the MPEP exam, and that as an Engineer I could become a Patent Agent, from a PLI direct mailer. After researching all my preparation options and learning more
about the intensity and breadth of the test, I returned to PLI. I was cautious and a little skeptical as I started the program, but John and Gene were re-assuring, and obviously so
well versed in the requirements and knowledge to pass that I felt building confidence in what I was learning. The time required to become proficient was a little overwhelming at
first, but as I tracked my progress, I actually looked forward to my studies and increasing in understanding. This PLI course helped me go from a rudimentary understanding of patents
to passing the MPEP Exam. Patware® was invaluable in my preparation, allowing me to practice timing and look-up skills, and in helping me with context familiarity so I could move
through questions without delay. I couldn’t have done it without PLI. Thanks again John, Gene, and the PLI team for putting together such a great program!” – Darcy W. Greep; R&D Engineer/Patent Agent, Megadyne; passed March 2015

“PLI’s patent bar review course helped me a great deal in preparing for the registration exam. The lectures and study materials captured the most important concepts to know/remember,

real exam. I especially appreciated the prompt e-mail answers I received from John White whenever I had a question regarding the material or practice questions. I passed the exam on
my first attempt and it would not have been possible without PLI’s course.” – Preeti Ramadoss, PhD; passed March 2015

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me pass the Patent Bar today. I really felt that you and Gene actually cared about the material and I think this made a
difference in the lectures and study materials - and allowed me to make a greater connection with the material. For some reason, I started to hear Gene’s voice reading the questions
and answers during the exam - with an especially heightened tone around what I perceived to be poor answer choices. Maybe there is something to that, who knows. I really can’t thank
you enough.” – Daniel Velez, William and Mary School of Law; passed February 2015

"I could not imagine any person possibly passing the registration exam without PLI’s course. The Patware® software makes all the difference in the world come test day. By the

[...] In contrast, PLI kept me very up-to-date with supplemental materials, updated videos, and the option for correspondence with John White and others. Another long story short, I passed this time around. Not only did I pass, but I am glad that I failed the
first time around; the only reason I got so close to passing in the first place was because I had memorized so many questions. Substantively, I knew nothing. Now though, I feel much
more comfortable with the patent prosecution process and the work I do for my internship. – Benjamin Parker; Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark School of Law; passed February 2015

“Having taken and failed the patent bar once before, I have had this thing lingering over me for some time. In June 2013, I bought a bargain course…thinking that since I am a bright
guy who has tested well since I was little, I could figure out whatever I needed to on my own with a little guidance here and there from the cheapest course I could find. Long story
short, I failed by one question. It was rough for me, and I felt like I wasted 3 months of my life and $1000 ($500 for the course and roughly $500 for test registration fees). After
that, I decided after my first year of law school that paying a little bit more of a premium for the best course I could find was worth it. PLI is most certainly the gold standard for
patent bar test prep. My other course never so much as mentioned the AIA…and that was the least of its problems. In contrast, PLI kept me very up-to-date with supplemental materials,
updated videos, and the option for correspondence with John White and others. Another long story short, I passed this time around. Not only did I pass, but I am glad that I failed the

“I could not have passed without the PLI program! The old advice to simply study the USPTO released exams does not work anymore. Since it has been so long since an exam has been
released, and the law has changed so drastically, the old exams might, at best, cover half of the material needed to pass. Fortunately, there is PLI and the PatWare® software.
The program clearly covers what you need to know to pass and the PatWare® questions allow you to translate the material from knowledge to application. It still is not easy and
took a lot of work, but I think it would be virtually impossible without PLI, unless you want to memorize all 3,000+ pages of the MPEP!” – Troy Hammon, Esq. USAF JAG; passed December 2014

“I began the online course and also attended the live'boot camp'course. Both the on-line lectures and the class presentations were excellent. The instructors are able to illustrate
dry and sometimes counterintuitive material in a memorable way which, if an exam taker can narrow down to two plausible choices, recollection of a key phrase from a lecture will lead
to the correct choice. After the live course, the instructors are readily available by e-mail, are always encouraging, and will answer questions with the detail you need to help clear
up confusion in a question. The Patware® software included in the course can be tuned to focus on one’s weaker areas in addition to developing stamina and pacing for the exam…. The
course and instructors are staying current with AIA and other changes in law and how these are presented in new problems being introduced in the exam ….[T]he exam is moving on, and

"I previously studied with [a different course] and found their organization and content to be... lacking. I had the opportunity to also study with PLI and found the
difference to be night and day. Where the organization was forced, PLI organized the material in a logical and procedural manner that helped promote integration of the
material into my practice while I was learning and to quickly create a complete view of the patent law landscape as well as how to find the information on test day if I
couldn’t remember it. Where the [other course’s] content was simply presented without any relation to the exam, PLI provided emphasis when content was likely to be tested
and gave excellent examples for how it would be tested. Most of all I was impressed by the ability of Mr. White and Mr. Quinn to keep me engaged in their lectures.
The quality of the presentation of the information is by far what sets PLI apart. Both the lectures and the handout material were easy to follow and study. Overall, I
found the experience to be as neatly presented and organized... and extremely complete in the information that was covered. I highly recommend PLI." – Steve Allhoff, Esq., Wilson Ham and Holman, LLP; passed January 2014

“The PLI course was invaluable in my preparation to pass the patent bar. A few factors that really contributed to my passing the test were the Prime questions, the test-condition practice
in PatWare®, and (especially) the distillation of the AIA materials. The predictions of content and number of AIA questions were very accurate and definitely contributed to my passing score.

I thought I should let you know I passed the exam (on the first attempt!) this week. I’m so glad I took your course to prepare. – James Whittle, Ph.D. in Biology, postdoctoral fellow; passed March 2013

“I thought I should let you know I passed the exam (on the first attempt!) this week. I’m so glad I took your course to prepare. Your advice on what to study seemed spot-on, and would have
been totally non-obvious without your guidance. Just as advised, Appeals and PCT were tested heavily, much more than on the 2002/2003 sample exams. I was surprised by how much the AIA
supplement on reexamination was tested. There were many questions on inter partes review and post-grant review, which required a detailed understanding of the rules. Knowing that supplemental
reexam is the go-to cure for inequitable conduct was worth several points. I was fortunate to have had the chance to talk over reexam/reissue with you by phone (Thanks!) and to have re-read
the supplement two-days before the exam. So in general all your advice in the course is right on. Future students should be informed to take those supplements seriously. I think I probably
matched you 100-150 hour advice, and in retrospect I feel it was necessary to do that much studying to have a chance. I should say, I had to pay out-of-pocket for your course -- no firm to
pay my fees -- but I think it was worth every penny.” – James Whittle, Ph.D. in Biology, postdoctoral fellow; passed March 2013

“[A]fter going through the PLI program, [I] thought the test was easy! I felt that it prepared me perfectly, which I also want to say thank you for! All of the new information of
the test, for AIA phase 2, was in the summary information and essentially in the Patware® questions also! On my test, there were probably 8 questions on post grant and inter
partes appeals, but nothing caught me off guard!” – Michael Templeton; Michigan State University College of Law; homestudy course; passed February 2013

“The PLI Patent Bar Review Course was instrumental in my passing the Patent Bar Exam on my first go-around. The course not only provides excellent practice test software—PatWare®—but the
lectures help you understand what is tested, how it’s tested, and what the test is really looking for. Without a course to give this guidance, it would be close to a shot in the
dark, particularly with the newly tested materials (i.e., AIA implementation) that PLI was great at predicting and preparing me for. I highly recommend the PLI Patent Bar Review Course

“The PLI Prep Course was outstanding, and I think I would have stumbled badly without it. I actually took and taught a professional certification exam prep course earlier in my
career in the management area, and it can’t hold a candle to this PLI course. The Patware® sample questions were particularly relevant. The email Q&A responses were also prompt

the assistance.” – Scott Serich, Concord Law School; home study course; passed January, 2013

"I’m a scientist, not a lawyer, and so I feel I was at a disadvantage from the start as I didn’t ‘think lawyerly.’ I used the PBR Home Course as my primary study tool. The instruction

Patware® was a great tool for focusing on topics where I was not scoring in my desired range. – Reza Sarbakhsh, Esq.; Kellner Herlihy Getty & Friedman, LLP; passed July 2012

“When I sat at a Prometric computer to take the patent bar, I was ready and calm. I wasn’t fazed by the picture of a patient with his guts hanging out, displayed on the computer next to
my test station, where a test taker was undoubtedly sitting for some sort of medical exam. Taking the online course was absolutely essential. The lectures painted a vivid picture of
the patent prosecution process and the various tracks that an application can take; and the questions that the exam can ask about all that goes on in the process. John’s lectures
helped me develop an instinct for what a right answer on the exam would look like, and he pointed out the instances where a rule is counterintuitive. John made the material easier
to grasp, and was even humorous…. His recommendations as to the number of hours to study and the pace were spot on. Patware® was a great tool for focusing on topics where I was
not scoring in my desired range. Once my scores on practice questions improved, Patware® became a confidence booster. Finally, towards the end of my studies, John was very
helpful (and quick) in responding to my emails…about specific problems I had when studying for the exam. In the end, it was almost inevitable that I would pass.” – Reza Sarbakhsh, Esq.; Kellner Herlihy Getty & Friedman, LLP; passed July 2012

The PLI Patent Bar preparation course was essential to my passing the patent bar...I could not have done it without PLI – Pratik Jhanb, Exec. Director, IP Law Society, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law; passed 2012

“The PLI Patent Bar preparation course was essential to my passing the patent bar on the first go. I took the patent bar while working full time and going to law-school in the evening and I could not have done it without PLI. John White’s lectures were great for the basic understanding of the material. The exercises at the end of each chapter really helped to lock in the concepts. All the practice exams at the end were great. I believe that PLI was definitely worth the investment.” – Pratik Jhanb, Exec. Director, IP Law Society, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law; passed 2012

“As PLI predicted, there were lots of questions on newly testable material (KSR, Bilski, etc.) on my Exam, and the PLI practice questions were right on the money. By the way I went to a seminar at Suffolk U given by Chief Judge Rader from the CAFC and guess what he discussed.... 35 USC 101!!!! It was wonderful, as I actually understood all they he was talking about. Thanks PLI!” – Christopher Mirley, PhD; IP Manager, Metabolix; passed February 2012

PLI Patent Bar Review Course made the process simple and helped me learn exactly what I needed to know to pass. – Margaux Birdsall, Chicago-Kent College of Law, 2012

“I had an excellent experience with PLI. I started studying just days after taking the Illinois bar exam and was not looking forward to beginning another course of study so soon after taking the bar. However, the PLI Patent Bar Review Course made the process simple and helped me learn exactly what I needed to know to pass.” – Margaux Birdsall, Chicago-Kent College of Law, 2012

“I was extremely happy with the help I received from PLI’s Patent Bar Review course! The course helped me to focus on the important parts of the MPEP in a very concise and efficient manner. I took a home study course and the combination of recorded lectures, homework, and practice problems helped me learn and apply the material at the convenience of my own schedule.” – Anne Readel, University of Wisconsin Law School, Homestudy course, 2012

PLI did a great job of providing the materials...that distills a complex subject into digestible chunks. – John Chu, Senior Software Engineer, 2012

“Walking into the exam, I felt very confident about the materials! I really think that PLI did a great job of providing the materials (written, recorded and live seminars) that distills a complex subject into digestible chunks. The iterative approach of building knowledge was an excellent way that helped me retain information. To top it off, no one beats John White – great instructor! “ – John Chu, Senior Software Engineer, 2012

“PLI’s Patent Bar Review course was essential to me passing
the registration exam on the first try! John White and Gene Quinn did a good job keeping me interested

Whether you are a novice or experienced practitioner, this course truly is THE course to take if you want to pass the patent bar. – Corporate Attorney; New York course 2011

“Whether you are a novice or experienced practitioner, this course truly is THE course to take if you want to pass the patent bar. The in-class time is worthwhile and highly recommended, particularly due to the direct access to the instructors. However, the post-course material (i.e. sample questions software, lecture review etc.) is what makes this course worth its weight in gold. The instructors were timely in answering e-mailed questions, which helps during that last week of review. If you want to pass the patent bar the first time, which I hope you do, don’t look any further.” – Corporate Attorney; New York course 2011

I would recommend PLI to future applicants! – Lisa R. Oropollo, 2011

“I wanted to let you know that I passed the Patent Bar today. Thanks for all of your assistance and support! I would recommend PLI to future applicants! I found that John White’s lectures
gave me a solid foundation and understanding of the subject matter. As an attorney engaged in the full-time
practice of law, it was necessary for me to study "part-time" at home on evenings and weekends. This course gave
me the flexibility to do that. On several occasions, I emailed John White with questions relative to the Patent
exam and Patent application process in general. He consistently replied in a prompt manner and was able to answer
all of my questions.” – Lisa R. Oropollo, 2011

The PLI Patent Bar Review course and John White were nothing short of amazing. – Chicago Spring course 2009

"The PLI Patent Bar Review course and John White were nothing short of amazing.
I could never have passed without both. I also took the PRG (Kayton) course which
I found to be much less useful and did not yield successful results on the exam.
I found the PLI course to be so much more focused on what was needed to pass the
exam. The 40 hours of John White on CD proved invaluable to my study, as did Patware®.
I listened to him in my car on long road trips, in addition to attending the live
class. Delightfully, John provided timely answers to my detailed questions via email.
As Gene says, John White truly is the Rock Star of Patent Law. I look forward to
taking additional courses from PLI and John in the future as I embark on my IP career." – Chicago Spring course 2009

I would like to personally thank you for helping me pass the Patent Registration
Exam. – fall 2010; homestudy course 2010

"I would like to personally thank you for helping me pass the Patent Registration
Exam. I was an outsider to the field of patent law and had little, if any, knowledge

exam this past Tuesday, May 4, 2010. You’ve put together a great program and I’m
very glad I chose your product!" – fall 2010; homestudy course 2010

Prior to enrolling in the course, I contemplated
the possibility that my experience as a Scientific Advisor at a top technology law
firm would suffice to guide me through the exam. – Craig Kenesky, PhD, Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati; New York summer 2009
course

"Prior to enrolling in the course, I contemplated
the possibility that my experience as a Scientific Advisor at a top technology law
firm would suffice to guide me through the exam. I quickly ascertained from the
first morning of lectures that the formal understanding of the MPEP was in fact
a very different skill set than the actual practice of patent prosecution. I conclude
that any length or level of patent law practice is not a substitute for the PLI
patent bar review course, and even experienced practitioners would be wise to participate." – Craig Kenesky, PhD, Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati; New York summer 2009
course

"Got official results from the USPTO this week
telling me I passed the patent bar exam. Just wanted to thank you for the excellent

Thank you for making this available." – George Atkins, Sun Microsystems; Chicago

I want to thank you very much for both the
PLI course and your support in answering my questions. – Jessica Zafont, Brooklyn
Law School; homestudy course 2008-2009

"I want to thank you very much for both the
PLI course and your support in answering my questions. I passed the patent exam
on my first try last Friday. I could not have been more satisfied with the course
and the preparation and confidence it gave me. Not only was it thorough, but you
somehow managed to make it as much of a positive, upbeat experience as possible.
As hard as it was to learn the material, take practice exams, and sit through the
real exam, I will not look back on the ordeal as a traumatic experience as much
as a challenge that both improved me as a student, lawyer, and test-taker. Two of
my friends both took the course and passed on their first try as well. I am really
impressed with the quality of the preparation we received!" – Jessica Zafont, Brooklyn
Law School; homestudy course 2008-2009

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank PLI...for
their excellent help with my preparation for the patent bar exam. I took and passed
the exam yesterday after doing the homestudy course over the past six months at
home during my spare time while continuing to practice as an attorney full time.
I felt very confident on the exam and recognized a solid 20-25 questions which were
exact repeats from the study materials as well as another 20-25 which were obvious
alterations of prior questions I had seen. I was extremely impressed with this preparation
material as it was exactly as advertised and lead to a successful result. Thank
you very much and I will certainly recommend this to anyone in the field. Keep up
the good work" – Thomas Geroulo, Esq., Weber Gallagher Simpson Stapleton Fires

I am a law student who took the Patent Bar Exam (PBE) at the end of my second year
of law school. – William Wong, UCLA School of Law; NY spring course 2008

"I am a law student who took the Patent Bar Exam (PBE) at the end of my second year
of law school. I took the PLI Patent Bar Review live course the summer before and
I’m happy to report that I passed the PBE on my first try!!! I didn’t think I would
pass because I’ve heard so much about the approximately 50% pass rate on the PBE.
But the key is focused preparation, which is exactly what the PLI course provides
by emphasizing the material (i.e. MPEP 700, 2100, 1800) that the PBE likes to frequently
tests. As a busy law student, there’s simply no way I can humanly find the time
to read, outline, comprehend the 3000-page+ MPEP on my own!" – William Wong, UCLA School of Law; NY spring course 2008

course. I was not able to begin studying until February ’09 due to projects at work.
This caused me great concern, but having all of the lectures on CD let me get right
back up to speed. Although the Patent Bar exam is not easy by any means, I studied
hard and I passed the exam yesterday. I would like to thank PLI for a solid program
built around top notch materials." – Christopher Palestro, Esq., IBM Corporation
and Adjunct Associate Professor, Iona College Hagan School of Business; New York

I passed the Patent Bar today (first try) and it’s without a doubt thanks to the
excellent materials from PLI. – Otto Steinbusch; homestudy course 2008

"I passed the Patent Bar today (first try) and it’s without a doubt thanks to the
excellent materials from PLI. I’ve been an engineer for quite a while now and I
wasn’t sure I could get a handle on 3000+ pages of legal mumbo-jumbo (called the
MPEP...). I took the home-study course (2008) and it simply drilled all the information
I needed into my brain: most test questions were very similar to the questions I
practiced. All the key phrases (including the favorite PTO ways to trick test-takers)
become clear and you will quickly zero in on the right answer. Take no short-cuts
and follow the course exactly as intended. Once you’re done with the study guide,
use the software to practice questions and exams again and again until you have
seen every question there is and score, say, 96% on the old exams. Trust the course,
trust PLI and you will pass." – Otto Steinbusch; homestudy course 2008

This course is excellent. – Karen Jachimowicz; homestudy course 2008

I am very happy to let you know that I passed the PTO exam on the 1st try! I couldn’t
pass the exam without taking the PLI class. I was planning to study on my own, but
I was so frustrated since I was an engineer with no training in law at all, and
I felt great difficulty in preparing for the exam. The PLI class greatly helped
me to understand the key points and guided me step by step to pass the exam. I would
like to especially thank you for your quick and detailed responses to my questions!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your help and I would highly recommend
the PLI class to anyone I know." – Yi Sun Wilkinson, Ph.D. in Engineering and instructor

The PLI course is well tailored to the task of passing the patent bar. – Robert Penchuk, Suffolk University Law School;
Boston course summer 2008

"The PLI course is well tailored to the task of passing the patent bar. I took the
PRG home study course and failed, then subsequently passed with the PLI course.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Becoming a proficient patent prosecutor is an art form
that develops over many years. The PRG course is not commensurate in scope with
the task of passing the bar. It attempts to do what can only realistically be done
with years of practice. By overloading the student with a ridiculous amount of extraneous
detail you will likely not achieve either goal. You have to walk before you run!
Pass the bar first with PLI." – Robert Penchuk, Suffolk University Law School;

the total immersion is well worth the time and investment." – Jeff Sargent, Northern
Kentucky University College of Law; Chicago summer 2008 course

"The PLI course does a fantastic job of
presenting otherwise dry material in an engaging fashion with relevant stories and
humor. Where other course merely read from the MPEP, PLI provides insight into the
actual meaning behind the content of the MPEP. The result: a solid set of material
that aids in your understanding and in your retention of the information most pertinent
for the patent bar exam. These guys really know their material and want YOU to succeed." – Nicholas Witchey, Ph.D. Physics; Southern California course 2008

instrumental in gaining an understanding of the material, as I’ve done no patent
prosecution work and have no law school experience (I’m starting next month)." – Carrie Yuelling, Willamette University Law School (incoming 1L); Houston course
2008

"John White was an AMAZING speaker -- and teacher. I learned so much from the class….I
really appreciated PLI’s help in getting me through the bar; had I not taken the
class…, I’m sure I would have spent many many more hours studying or I would not
have passed." – Rebecca Crandall, Coats and Bennett, PLLC; Chicago summer 2007 course

[...] I can’t imagine confronting an exam of this difficulty without a review course as professionally designed as PLI’s. – Andrew Blythe, Harvard Law School; passed June 2015

“When I first started learning the Patent Bar materials, I thought the detail and complexity was completely overwhelming. However, I was very impressed with Gene and John’s ability
in the videos to focus on the important materials and provide context with anecdotes from their years of practice. Following the lesson plan and taking the instructors’ sage advice,
the exam is certainly conquerable. I can’t imagine confronting an exam of this difficulty without a review course as professionally designed as PLI’s.” – Andrew Blythe, Harvard Law School; passed June 2015

I highly recommend this course to anyone in preparation for taking the exam... – Kelvin Liu, patent engineer; passed June 2015

“I highly recommend this course to anyone in preparation for taking the exam. …. PatWare® is very very useful to prepare …for the testing environment, timing, etc. By following the
schedule and the advice from PLI, and having diligently done and reviewed all the homework, mini-exams, practice tests recommended, I felt quite confident about what to expect, and
the actual test proves exactly that!” – Kelvin Liu, patent engineer; passed June 2015

When I first decided to take the USPTO exam, I enrolled in a less expensive course than PLI. I followed the course's guidelines but it wasn't enough to help me pass the exam. Then, my husband convinced me to take the PLI course and give the exam another try. This time also I followed the PLI's online course's guidelines but with a different result; I passed! – Tina Alikahi; passed May 2015

“When I first decided to take the USPTO exam, I enrolled in a less expensive course than PLI. I followed the course's guidelines but it wasn't enough to help me pass the exam. Then,
my husband convinced me to take the PLI course and give the exam another try. This time also I followed the PLI's online course's guidelines but with a different result; I passed!
It was simple: read the text, listen to the lectures, and take and retake the sample exams until you ace them. The sample question bank was extensive enough to boost my confidence
and prepare me for the exam. Especially that for each question there was an explanation for the answer, so I wasn't just memorizing the answer but learning the laws/rules. On the
exam day, I had more than an hour extra time for each session to review the questions I was doubtful about and go through MPEP. I found the course amazingly helpful.” – Tina Alikahi; passed May 2015

enabled me to prep thoroughly for the material covered on the exam and the strategies needed to respond quickly and accurately to the questions. I especially appreciated the ongoing
support provided by John White and Mark Dighton in the weeks prior to the exam. Thanks PLI!” – Andrea Wheeler, Patent Agent, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation; passed April 2015

“The PLI course was exactly what I needed to study for the patent bar -- everything I needed was included. The lectures alone would have been great, but the written materials and the
reminders from John White to both read the material and listen to the lecture were really helpful. Best of all was Patware®, though. Thanks to Patware® the stress of the actual exam
was so much lower than it would've been if I hadn't been answering questions for days on end using Patware®. To have an actual simulation of the exam itself was an incredible
resource. What was best about Patware® was the explanations for each answer during review. I couldn't have done it without that. Thanks so much for this quality course!” – Iris Kim; passed April 2015

[...] I couldn’t have done it without PLI. Thanks again John, Gene, and the PLI team for putting together such a great program! – Darcy W. Greep; R&D Engineer/Patent Agent, Megadyne; passed March 2015

“I first learned about the MPEP exam, and that as an Engineer I could become a Patent Agent, from a PLI direct mailer. After researching all my preparation options and learning more
about the intensity and breadth of the test, I returned to PLI. I was cautious and a little skeptical as I started the program, but John and Gene were re-assuring, and obviously so
well versed in the requirements and knowledge to pass that I felt building confidence in what I was learning. The time required to become proficient was a little overwhelming at
first, but as I tracked my progress, I actually looked forward to my studies and increasing in understanding. This PLI course helped me go from a rudimentary understanding of patents
to passing the MPEP Exam. Patware® was invaluable in my preparation, allowing me to practice timing and look-up skills, and in helping me with context familiarity so I could move
through questions without delay. I couldn’t have done it without PLI. Thanks again John, Gene, and the PLI team for putting together such a great program!” – Darcy W. Greep; R&D Engineer/Patent Agent, Megadyne; passed March 2015

“PLI’s patent bar review course helped me a great deal in preparing for the registration exam. The lectures and study materials captured the most important concepts to know/remember,
which was really useful considering the amount of material that is tested on the exam. The simulated tests in Patware® were crucial to learning time management and MPEP-lookup for the
real exam. I especially appreciated the prompt e-mail answers I received from John White whenever I had a question regarding the material or practice questions. I passed the exam on
my first attempt and it would not have been possible without PLI’s course.” – Preeti Ramadoss, PhD; passed March 2015

The Homestudy course was immensely helpful. Allowing me to work through the content at my own pace and knowing that I could always ask a question when I didn't understand something gave me the peace of mind to pass on my first attempt.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me pass the Patent Bar today... – Daniel Velez, William and Mary School of Law; passed February 2015

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me pass the Patent Bar today. I really felt that you and Gene actually cared about the material and I think this made a
difference in the lectures and study materials - and allowed me to make a greater connection with the material. For some reason, I started to hear Gene's voice reading the questions
and answers during the exam - with an especially heightened tone around what I perceived to be poor answer choices. Maybe there is something to that, who knows. I really can't thank
you enough.” – Daniel Velez, William and Mary School of Law; passed February 2015

"I could not imagine any person possibly passing the registration exam without PLI's course. The Patware® software makes all the difference in the world come test day. By the
end of the course, the only real difference between actually taking the test and the practice tests you've been doing is the room you are sitting in. Thanks PLI!" – Jared Suter, BSE, Biomedical Engineering, Arizona State University; passed February 2015

good approximation of the real exam and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to pass the Patent Bar Exam.” – Alexandra Koseva, SAP Labs; passed February 2015

[...] In contrast, PLI kept me very up-to-date with supplemental materials, updated videos, and the option for correspondence with John White and others. Another long story short, I passed this time around. Not only did I pass, but I am glad that I failed the
first time around; the only reason I got so close to passing in the first place was because I had memorized so many questions. Substantively, I knew nothing. Now though, I feel much
more comfortable with the patent prosecution process and the work I do for my internship. – Benjamin Parker; Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark School of Law; passed February 2015

“Having taken and failed the patent bar once before, I have had this thing lingering over me for some time. In June 2013, I bought a bargain course…thinking that since I am a bright
guy who has tested well since I was little, I could figure out whatever I needed to on my own with a little guidance here and there from the cheapest course I could find. Long story
short, I failed by one question. It was rough for me, and I felt like I wasted 3 months of my life and $1000 ($500 for the course and roughly $500 for test registration fees). After
that, I decided after my first year of law school that paying a little bit more of a premium for the best course I could find was worth it. PLI is most certainly the gold standard for
patent bar test prep. My other course never so much as mentioned the AIA…and that was the least of its problems. In contrast, PLI kept me very up-to-date with supplemental materials,
updated videos, and the option for correspondence with John White and others. Another long story short, I passed this time around. Not only did I pass, but I am glad that I failed the

clearly communicate and explain the topics required for the patent bar exam. The course topics presented were well organized and associated so that one could understand the bigger
picture. The completion of the practice exams gave me good practice for my exam day and enabled me to receive a passing score. The course was excellent for focusing on the most
likely tested materials. I took the home-study method where it was permitted to send the question through the internet. My questions were always answered timely. I give the course
both thumbs up!” – Valerie D. Fee; Passed January 2015

“I could not have passed without the PLI program! The old advice to simply study the USPTO released exams does not work anymore. Since it has been so long since an exam has been
released, and the law has changed so drastically, the old exams might, at best, cover half of the material needed to pass. Fortunately, there is PLI and the PatWare® software.
The program clearly covers what you need to know to pass and the PatWare® questions allow you to translate the material from knowledge to application. It still is not easy and
took a lot of work, but I think it would be virtually impossible without PLI, unless you want to memorize all 3,000+ pages of the MPEP!” – Troy Hammon, Esq. USAF JAG; passed December 2014

solidifying my understanding of the course topics. The online lectures and the study course materials went hand in hand. Furthermore, the vast amount of practice exam questions that

“I began the online course and also attended the live 'boot camp' course. Both the on-line lectures and the class presentations were excellent. The instructors are able to illustrate
dry and sometimes counterintuitive material in a memorable way which, if an exam taker can narrow down to two plausible choices, recollection of a key phrase from a lecture will lead
to the correct choice. After the live course, the instructors are readily available by e-mail, are always encouraging, and will answer questions with the detail you need to help clear
up confusion in a question. The Patware® software included in the course can be tuned to focus on one's weaker areas in addition to developing stamina and pacing for the exam…. The
course and instructors are staying current with AIA and other changes in law and how these are presented in new problems being introduced in the exam ….[T]he exam is moving on, and

"The PLI Patent Bar Review course was extremely helpful in preparing for the patent bar. Prior to taking the course, I had some basic knowledge of the patent system and
novelty and obviousness. However, the PLI course definitely took my knowledge to the next level and beyond. The intensive five day program covered a wide breadth of topics
in enough detail to provide a strong foundation. The instructors were knowledgeable and witty, making the long days seem a little shorter. After taking the PLI course and

passed the patent bar exam, but I still regularly refer to the detailed course materials for guidance as I embark on my career as a patent attorney. This investment was well

Initially I kicked myself for studying during such a transformative time for patent law (introduction of the AIA), but I felt I was well prepared for any question that

- Rene Mai, University of Texas; Passed January 2014

"I can confidently say that the PLI Patent Bar Review course helped me pass the patent bar even though I didn't have as much time for review as I would have liked. The AIA supplements were invaluable because they kept all the information that I would be tested on in one place, with no worries that I missed one. The lectures were never boring, too, which is a bigger benefit than most people would believe. You could just try and buy the materials secondhand, but you'd be missing out on the repetition and reinforcement given in the lectures, as well as the AIA supplements and many practice exercises that help you learn to associate certain concepts with the proper MPEP chapter, which saves valuable time on the Patent Bar." - Rene Mai, University of Texas; Passed January 2014

"I previously studied with [a different course] and found their organization and content to be... lacking. I had the opportunity to also study with PLI and found the
difference to be night and day. Where the organization was forced, PLI organized the material in a logical and procedural manner that helped promote integration of the
material into my practice while I was learning and to quickly create a complete view of the patent law landscape as well as how to find the information on test day if I
couldn't remember it. Where the [other course’s] content was simply presented without any relation to the exam, PLI provided emphasis when content was likely to be tested
and gave excellent examples for how it would be tested. Most of all I was impressed by the ability of Mr. White and Mr. Quinn to keep me engaged in their lectures.
The quality of the presentation of the information is by far what sets PLI apart. Both the lectures and the handout material were easy to follow and study. Overall, I
found the experience to be as neatly presented and organized... and extremely complete in the information that was covered. I highly recommend PLI."

been totally non-obvious without your guidance. Just as advised, Appeals and PCT were tested heavily, much more than on the 2002/2003 sample exams. I was surprised by how much the AIA
supplement on reexamination was tested. There were many questions on inter partes review and post-grant review, which required a detailed understanding of the rules. Knowing that supplemental
reexam is the go-to cure for inequitable conduct was worth several points. I was fortunate to have had the chance to talk over reexam/reissue with you by phone (Thanks!) and to have re-read
the supplement two-days before the exam. So in general all your advice in the course is right on. Future students should be informed to take those supplements seriously. I think I probably
matched you 100-150 hour advice, and in retrospect I feel it was necessary to do that much studying to have a chance. I should say, I had to pay out-of-pocket for your course -- no firm to

Patware® was a great tool for focusing on topics where I was not scoring in my desired range. - Reza Sarbakhsh, Esq.; Kellner Herlihy Getty & Friedman, LLP; passed July 2012

“When I sat at a Prometric computer to take the patent bar, I was ready and calm. I wasn't fazed by the picture of a patient with his guts hanging out, displayed on the computer next to
my test station, where a test taker was undoubtedly sitting for some sort of medical exam. Taking the online course was absolutely essential. The lectures painted a vivid picture of
the patent prosecution process and the various tracks that an application can take; and the questions that the exam can ask about all that goes on in the process. John's lectures
helped me develop an instinct for what a right answer on the exam would look like, and he pointed out the instances where a rule is counterintuitive. John made the material easier
to grasp, and was even humorous…. His recommendations as to the number of hours to study and the pace were spot on. Patware® was a great tool for focusing on topics where I was
not scoring in my desired range. Once my scores on practice questions improved, Patware® became a confidence booster. Finally, towards the end of my studies, John was very
helpful (and quick) in responding to my emails…about specific problems I had when studying for the exam. In the end, it was almost inevitable that I would pass.”

Patent Bar on my first attempt. Although working in the field of patents for the last two years has helped, I would
not have been able to do this with the focus and diligence of your course. So, kudos to you for that. Your course was
recommended to me by my peers who have succeeded before me, and I will be passing along the recommendation to anyone
I meet with an interest in this field.” – Jayita Guhaniyogi, Ph.D., Intellectual Property Director, Signum Biosciences

The PLI Patent Bar Review course and John White were nothing short of amazing. -Chicago Spring course 2009

"The PLI Patent Bar Review course and John White were nothing short of amazing.
I could never have passed without both. I also took the PRG (Kayton) course which
I found to be much less useful and did not yield successful results on the exam.
I found the PLI course to be so much more focused on what was needed to pass the
exam. The 40 hours of John White on CD proved invaluable to my study, as did Patware®.
I listened to him in my car on long road trips, in addition to attending the live
class. Delightfully, John provided timely answers to my detailed questions via email.
As Gene says, John White truly is the Rock Star of Patent Law. I look forward to
taking additional courses from PLI and John in the future as I embark on my IP career."
- Catherine E. Dolata, Esq.; Chicago Spring course 2009

"I would like to personally thank you for helping me pass the Patent Registration
Exam. I was an outsider to the field of patent law and had little, if any, knowledge
of what a patent even was. After studying for two months with the PLI Home Study
Course and working out many, many problems with Patware®, I successfully passed the
exam this past Tuesday, May 4, 2010. You've put together a great program and I'm
very glad I chose your product!" - Mike Carrozza; AT&T and entering law student,

Prior to enrolling in the course, I contemplated
the possibility that my experience as a Scientific Advisor at a top technology law
firm would suffice to guide me through the exam. - New York summer 2009
course.

"Prior to enrolling in the course, I contemplated
the possibility that my experience as a Scientific Advisor at a top technology law
firm would suffice to guide me through the exam. I quickly ascertained from the
first morning of lectures that the formal understanding of the MPEP was in fact
a very different skill set than the actual practice of patent prosecution. I conclude
that any length or level of patent law practice is not a substitute for the PLI
patent bar review course, and even experienced practitioners would be wise to participate."
-- Craig Kenesky, PhD, Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati; New York summer 2009
course.

"Got official results from the USPTO this week
telling me I passed the patent bar exam. Just wanted to thank you for the excellent
instruction. The drills, practice tests, and select reading made test day seem like
just another day. The Patent Bar XChange is a great idea and valuable resource.
Thank you for making this available." -- George Atkins, Sun Microsystems; Chicago

I want to thank you very much for both the
PLI course and your support in answering my questions. - Brooklyn
Law School; homestudy course 2008-2009

"I want to thank you very much for both the
PLI course and your support in answering my questions. I passed the patent exam
on my first try last Friday. I could not have been more satisfied with the course
and the preparation and confidence it gave me. Not only was it thorough, but you
somehow managed to make it as much of a positive, upbeat experience as possible.
As hard as it was to learn the material, take practice exams, and sit through the
real exam, I will not look back on the ordeal as a traumatic experience as much
as a challenge that both improved me as a student, lawyer, and test-taker. Two of
my friends both took the course and passed on their first try as well. I am really
impressed with the quality of the preparation we received!" -- Jessica Zafont, Brooklyn
Law School; homestudy course 2008-2009

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank PLI...for

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank PLI...for
their excellent help with my preparation for the patent bar exam. I took and passed
the exam yesterday after doing the homestudy course over the past six months at
home during my spare time while continuing to practice as an attorney full time.
I felt very confident on the exam and recognized a solid 20-25 questions which were
exact repeats from the study materials as well as another 20-25 which were obvious
alterations of prior questions I had seen. I was extremely impressed with this preparation
material as it was exactly as advertised and lead to a successful result. Thank
you very much and I will certainly recommend this to anyone in the field. Keep up
the good work" -- Thomas Geroulo, Esq., Weber Gallagher Simpson Stapleton Fires

I am a law student who took the Patent Bar Exam (PBE) at the end of my second year
of law school. - NY spring course 2008

"I am a law student who took the Patent Bar Exam (PBE) at the end of my second year
of law school. I took the PLI Patent Bar Review live course the summer before and
I'm happy to report that I passed the PBE on my first try!!! I didn't think I would
pass because I've heard so much about the approximately 50% pass rate on the PBE.
But the key is focused preparation, which is exactly what the PLI course provides
by emphasizing the material (i.e. MPEP 700, 2100, 1800) that the PBE likes to frequently
tests. As a busy law student, there's simply no way I can humanly find the time
to read, outline, comprehend the 3000-page+ MPEP on my own!" -- William Wong, UCLA

This caused me great concern, but having all of the lectures on CD let me get right
back up to speed. Although the Patent Bar exam is not easy by any means, I studied
hard and I passed the exam yesterday. I would like to thank PLI for a solid program
built around top notch materials." - Christopher Palestro, Esq., IBM Corporation
and Adjunct Associate Professor, Iona College Hagan School of Business; New York

I passed the Patent Bar today (first try) and it's without a doubt thanks to the
excellent materials from PLI. - homestudy course 2008

"I passed the Patent Bar today (first try) and it's without a doubt thanks to the
excellent materials from PLI. I've been an engineer for quite a while now and I
wasn't sure I could get a handle on 3000+ pages of legal mumbo-jumbo (called the
MPEP...). I took the home-study course (2008) and it simply drilled all the information
I needed into my brain: most test questions were very similar to the questions I
practiced. All the key phrases (including the favorite PTO ways to trick test-takers)
become clear and you will quickly zero in on the right answer. Take no short-cuts
and follow the course exactly as intended. Once you're done with the study guide,
use the software to practice questions and exams again and again until you have
seen every question there is and score, say, 96% on the old exams. Trust the course,
trust PLI and you will pass." -- Otto Steinbusch; homestudy course 2008

"I am writing to thank you so much for helping me in preparation for the PTO exam!
I am very happy to let you know that I passed the PTO exam on the 1st try! I couldn't
pass the exam without taking the PLI class. I was planning to study on my own, but
I was so frustrated since I was an engineer with no training in law at all, and
I felt great difficulty in preparing for the exam. The PLI class greatly helped
me to understand the key points and guided me step by step to pass the exam. I would
like to especially thank you for your quick and detailed responses to my questions!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your help and I would highly recommend
the PLI class to anyone I know." -- Yi Sun Wilkinson, Ph.D. in Engineering and instructor

The PLI course is well tailored to the task of passing the patent bar. - Suffolk University Law School;
Boston course summer 2008

"The PLI course is well tailored to the task of passing the patent bar. I took the
PRG home study course and failed, then subsequently passed with the PLI course.
Let's not kid ourselves. Becoming a proficient patent prosecutor is an art form
that develops over many years. The PRG course is not commensurate in scope with
the task of passing the bar. It attempts to do what can only realistically be done
with years of practice. By overloading the student with a ridiculous amount of extraneous
detail you will likely not achieve either goal. You have to walk before you run!
Pass the bar first with PLI." -- Robert Penchuk, Suffolk University Law School;

"The PLI course does a fantastic job of
presenting otherwise dry material in an engaging fashion with relevant stories and
humor. Where other course merely read from the MPEP, PLI provides insight into the

that aids in your understanding and in your retention of the information most pertinent
for the patent bar exam. These guys really know their material and want YOU to succeed."
